Missing Endangered Person Alert – Infant Taken From Hospital

Last week in Helena, Montana, Michelle Yallup walked out of a hospital in Anaconda with her newborn baby. This moment is usually wrapped in joy and nervousness, but in this case, the state of Montana, concerned for the welfare of the child, issued a Missing Endangered Person Alert (MEPA) shortly after law enforcement contacted the state Department of Justice.

Infant abduction from hospitals and birthing centers is a rare but serious threat. This case in Montana last week, while unusual in that it was the mother who was unauthorized to leave the facility with the newborn, still points to the importance of RFID bracelets worn by infants to keep them safe and secure. There are many reasons why hospitals and birthing centers choose to install or upgrade their security systems using Accutech RFID-enabled products: lower total cost of ownership, advanced features, lower rate of false alarms, full compliance, and the most comprehensive customer support program in the industry. In addition to easy integration with existing systems, Accutech and our network of local dealers are committed to making sure that your staff receives the necessary training and support to ensure that there are no weak links in your infant protection system.
